Nino Rota's tender magic

"It is always a wonderful experience to listen to Nino Rota's soundtracks, specially when the music was made for a Fellini's picture. In this CD's particular case, the recordings are great and the mood of the films was preserved by the orchestras.
There are only two reasons why I don't give a "10" mark to this CD: 1) in one or two arrangements we find a kind of artificial ("non-Rota", I would say) use of electronic instruments which were not used in the original recordings; 2) the greatest piece of music found in the picture "Prova D'Orchestra" - the opening theme, to be more specific - was not included in the album, for some obscure reason. But these are small details, I would say. The album is great.
As to the delivery service, no problems at all. I thank Amazon for its speed and professionalism."
